I had something happen to me in church this morning that I want to get your opinion on. As you may or may not know I have unofficially appointed myself chief usher and 3rd counselor over the back rows of the church for our ward sacrament meeting. That way I get to set the chairs up the way that I want and get to sit where I want. I try to get folks in to the chapel before the sacrament and I watch out for stragglers who show up late and if I can get them to partake what they otherwise would miss I grab a Deacon and lead them out to a later arrival so that they get their opportunity. That happened today. A family of 3 arrived late and I directed a Deacon back out into the foyer. I was surprised when the mother would not partake because she did not "hear the prayer". The daughter and and the husband both partook. I thought about what she did, and her reason, and wondered. Was she right? It was a good point and my conclusion was that all were right being true to how they saw things. I appreciated the insight that the moment gave to me. What do you think about this seemingly insignificant experience?
